5 Points Retreat in East Nashville - Walk to Restaurants, Bars & Music

We had the absolute worst experience staying at 5 Points. We were totally catfished - the pictures, descriptions, and reviews were the complete opposite to our time spent there. Check-in was fine, and the amount of beds worked for our group. However, sleep was absolutely impossible. The neighbors blared EDM music so loud that the walls vibrated. It was as if we were staying at a frat house who was hosting a rave. We messaged the host, and they said they put in a “warning.” The VRBO house details claim that it is a residential building, so we thought it was just a one-night situation. Unfortunately, this continued for the next two nights; worsening with loud shouting and piercing sounds of objects being thrown until 4:30 a.m. We ourselves were out late at bars, so it’s not like we are against having a good time. But we booked this VRBO expecting to have a good, solid place to relax after a long, fun day / night exploring. Instead, we came back to a complete disaster. Not to mention, the beds were filthy with small, curly black hairs on the sheets and pillows. So if you are seeking a dorm-like experience filled with tumultuous sounds, body hair-infested sheets on a 1980s mattress, this is the place for you.

Great location! Plenty of space for 4 people, thought 12 might be a bit tight. Bathrooms were spacious. Host communication was great … the AC went out and it was fixed before we came back from exploring.I do wish the bedrooms had curtains to block the light from the streetlights and parking lot lights. Might also dampen the noise from the busy street outside.

Nice. Close to town.

This is a great place in a safe neighborhood walking distance to several Restaurants and bars in the 5 Points area. 5 mins to downtown and easy and plentiful parking. The place is well appointed and very clean. Would absolutely stay again.

The property suited our needs very nicely. Plenty of room and easy to operate all of the appliances. The host was extremely responsive and very easy to work with. There were many walkable options for stores and dining. We would highly recommend!

This location has traffic in the parking lot that is questionable. This made myself, two other mothers and our childreen feel extremely unsafe. We ultimately decided to leave. We did't feel safe staying at this property with our children and we also did not feel compfortable having our cars in this lot over night. I have reached out to the host and have not yet recieved a response. Our children were very disappionted but we put our safety first.

Property was nice for the most part. Very close to the road and the traffic is very loud. We had a rowdy group upstairs so it was a very loud night. The water in the showers is either all the way hot or no water pressure at all. Otherwise the stay was great!

We honestly thought we were at the wrong location for a good 10 minutes before trying the apt. door and letting ourselves in. There was a lot going on outside - parties, grilling out and the outside appearance wasn't great. Once inside, it was great! What is shared on the app is accurate and beds are comfy - even the queen bunks! The outside noise, banging upstairs and the fire alarm going of for 30 straight minutes at 3am were things that made our stay a little less than desirable.

Great place to stay!!! Was super clean and very easy to communicate with. Highly Recommend

Easy access to so many places. Great local eateries. Unfortunately a lot of street noise and lights at night. Kitchen had minimal amenities. We cooked ground beef but there was no strainer to strain grease.

Very nice place. Loved the set up. Location was convient

We were very comfortable for our three night stay… cozy beds and linens, ample towels and a great open area to hang out. The layout is quite efficient. We appreciated the addition of white noise machines to help block out the street noise. The kitchen had enough supplies (plateware, silverware, etc.), but it’s not the type of kitchen where you could cook extensive meals.The location was ideal — super easy to walk to many bars/restaurants/shops and also a close drive to lots of other popular places. Don’t snooze on Snooze and Hunters Station down the block - wonderful food options. We also really enjoyed Duke’s. Guerilla Bizkits was phenomenal. East Nashville is super fun, funky and a great/more chill neighborhood compared to downtown.Overall, highly recommend!

Check in and out was seamless. The host was super helpful and easy to communicate with. Nice bathrooms and a lot of sleeping space

Great property for wanting to enjoy everything Nashville has to offer!

Communication was prompt and most helpful.Place was clean, comfy, and had enough rooms w beds we needed.Reasonably priced and convenient to downtown

Not only did this host make everything from check in to check out easy peasy, finding out it was my families first time in Nashville, she sent me a list of things to do around the area with in walking distance. We will for sure visit Nashville again, and no doubt we will stay at this same place!

Was an excellent stay with numerous beds and a great common area to relax while getting ready to enjoy the downtown area. Two bathrooms with full size showers were helpful with 5 of us staying there. Amenities were great as was the communication. The area is also awesome - tons of modern restaurants and bars in the immediate area (walkable) if you wanted to do a quick dinner or drink nearby. Would definitely stay again.

Lots of sleeping space and nice bathrooms

Amazing!

Super cute place in a great central location very close to broadway! Manager is super easy going and responsive. We got an early check in and loved staying here! Would highly recommend.

Amazing condo!!! Very clean, nicely decorated, comfortable, had everything you needed!!!

We just stayed the night on the way to our destination. Very nice.

Wonderful time. Perfect place to meet our needs. Communication with our property manager was always prompt. Would absolutely stay here again.

Enjoyed our trip to Nashville. Very close to Broadway, lots of restaurants nearby , plenty of room for a big group. Clean and everything we needed

We had to vacate the property almost immediately upon arrival. We thought we arrived at the wrong location and even our Uber driver was nervous to leave us at the location. It was obvious that illegal transactions were happening in the parking lot, but we decided to go in to see if maybe things would look better from the inside. As soon as we opened the door it smelled like raw sewage inside. We went around the windows to see if maybe it just needed to be aired out, but realized the windows did not open because it was a commercial space! The main living area was actually a large glass door/entry way that you would find at a retail location and opened to a sidewalk right outside of the door! The view across the street, less than a stone's throw, is a bail bonds establishment and a liquor store, to give you a better idea of the location. The main living area was also missing the smoke detector (it appeared to have been removed at some point). I wrote to VRBO and the property manager, as we were not able to stay due to the permeating smell that was making everyone sick, including one person who has a high risk medical condition, so we had to leave. Neither VRBO or the property manager made any attempt to assist us with a relocation, as the terms of policy for this property and VRBO provide, so we had to scramble to find our own accomodations, which of course came at a much higher price. This was a truly disappointing, unacceptable experience, to say the least.

Host was eager to help with any issues and it was a beautiful property for young professionals in town to relax and reconnect. Very short Ubers from Broadway etc.

Was a great place for a bachelor party. It would be great for people that plan on going out into downtown Nashville since rideshare is quite cheap, and you'll have plenty of company coming back from the bars in other units in the 2:00-4:00 a.m. hours. However, if you're looking for peace and quiet at night I would not recommend it. Also, the owner requires you to do quite a bit of cleaning chores before leaving even though you pay a cleaning fee - just something to be warned about.

We had a great weekend in Nashville. Would stay again.

We really enjoyed our stay here! Place was clean and location was great!
